Two lazy tramps scheme to make some money and one pretends to be hit by Reggie's car. The sympathetic young people bring him home and nurse him while he runs their house. Thinking he is seriously hurt, they humor his most extravagant whims and sleep on the uncomfortable parlor chairs while he reposes contentedly in their bed. The next morning after a heavy breakfast he demands an invalid's wheelchair and hubby has to leave his office and hurry home with one. He arrives to find the tramp master of the house, while the little wife runs to obey his endless requests. Fearing a lawsuit and moved by sympathy, the young husband dares not protest and tries to bear the excessive demands with resignation. Later, the tramp's fat side partner arrives and they try to rob the house. The wife telephones to her husband and he arrives with officers in time to place the tramps under arrest. Written by
